Western Telematic NPS-2HD Switch User Manual


 
4.4. Console Port Connection
The Console Port is a male, DB9 connector, wired in a DTE
configuration (similar to an AT computer), which is used for
connection to a local PC or control device. Appendix A
describes the Console Port interface.
4.5. Connecting an External Modem
When connecting directly to an external modem, use a standard
DB9 AT to Modem cable. Section 5.4 describes the procedure
for defining the modem command strings. Appendix A describes
the modem port interface.
4.6. Connecting the Network Cable
The Network Port is an RJ45 Ethernet jack, for connection to a
TCP/IP network. Connect your 10Base-T cable to the Network
Port. Before attempting to access the unit via network, please
assign the IP Address, Gateway Address and Subnet Mask as
described in Section 5.6.
Note: The NPS-2HD features a 10BaseT interface.
When connecting the NPS to a 100BaseT interface,
note that most router switches will autosense to
determine if the device is 100BaseT or 10BaseT and
then configure the network interface accordingly. If
your router switch does not auto-configure for
10BaseT vs. 100BaseT, then the network interface
port must be manually set to 10BaseT.
